STEP-2: CONNECTING THE X-AMP TO YOUR AMP

Start by ensuring all amp and mixer levels are turned down. Place the 

X-Amp near your amplifiers in the studio. As soon as you connect the 

15v/400mA power supply, the power LED on the front panel illuminates 

indicating the X-Amp is active and ready to use. 

NOTICE

: Before connecting the X-Amp to your guitar amplifier, make 

sure that it is equipped with a grounded 3-prong AC power cable. 

This important safety ground will ensure safe performance of your 

amplifier and the X-Amp. For safety, only use equipment that has 

passed electrical safety tests such as UL in the United States, CSA in 

Canada or the equivalent safety standards recognized in your country. 

Use a balanced XLR cable to connect the output of your recorder or mixer 

to the input on the X-Amp. Next, use a high-Z ¼” guitar cable to connect 

the DIRECT OUT-1 to your amplifier’s input.

NOTICE

: If you plan on connecting an amplifier to the second isolated 

OUT-2  jack  it  is  very  important  your  first  grounded  amplifier  stay 

connected to direct OUT-1 at all times, even if not in use or powered 

on. The amp serves as an important safety ground. 

Before connecting a second amplifier or effect pedals you should proceed 

to step-3 and finish setting up your first amp. This will help test the overall 

system and reduce troubleshooting.
